1962 Harmony H22 Bass

This is a great playing bass!

It has replacement tuners and pickguard (I made the p-guard myself using an original for the template). The electronics have been cleaned and are working perfectly. The bass is loud and fat and has that great tone that makes these so popular. The neck is straight the frets are good and it plays clean.

It has a variety of wear marks and paint flakes as most of these old basses do but it is in good solid condition. There are the signs of a crack along a tuner on the headstock but it is closed and stable.

This year is my favorite as the bridge is a solid piece of Brazilian rosewood with a chrome cover over it. In 1963 the bridge was “upgraded” to a metal affair that works very well but changed the tone a bit. I like the warmer “thud'' the rosewood provides.

At any rate, these are getting more and more expensive and here’s a nice one with no reserve.
